Keeping up the reinvigorated momentum of the blog, today’s post focuses on an album review that has been sadly on the long finger for a while: the second album release by Ultan Conlon.

It has been just over a month since my last blog post. Having finished one contract up recently, I am now between places and spaces. So blogging has taken a back seat for the last few weeks in my life. I hope to start rectifying that situation starting with this evenings blog post and continue […]

I haven’t done a post like this in a while so now is as good as time as any. The artists featured here also happen to be touring Ireland over the next few days so if you like what you read below, the good news is you can handily head out and catch them live. […]

The twelfth episode of Eirecana radio. This week’s episode is the last to appear on Flirt FM.

If you agree or disagree or have suggestions on one’s that I did miss out on, leave a comment below. As always you can stream the show through Mixcloud. The playlist […]

The ninth episode of Eirecana radio. This week’s episode is a (hopefully) welcom return for the show after Flirt FM’s summer break. The theme of the programme this week is the blues, blues/country and all that fits in between so it is heavy on rock, which is a good thing I think. As always you […]

The Midnight Union band is a group whom hail from Kilkenny that I featured on the blog a while ago. You can read that introduction to the band here.The band have been diligently working on the début E.P. for the past while and are just about to release it this Saturday night at The Set […]
